I am pleased to offer a mint and very rare Pomona Tisane set featuring the retired Red Currant and Hoary Morning Apple on the cup and a Cherry Blossom on the lid.

Portmeirion Tisane sets were only manufactured for a limited time and apparently in small quantities. This item in Pomona is especially hard to find. TiSanes are very difficult to come by and this one is in wonderful condition!


From the Dictionary Of Difficult Words a tisane is:

"An herbal infusion or similar preparation drunk as a beverage or for its mildly medicinal effect."

---> Red Currant Side <---

The Red Currant, a popular and rare fruit, has been retired.

---> Hoary Morning Apple <---

The Hoary Morning Apple is still produced to this day.

---> Cherry Blossom Lid <---

The 5 holes in the strainer are about 1/8" wide.

---> View Of Handle <---

The ID mark is a salmon or pinkish round circle Goddess Of Fruit mark used after 1985 until about 2000. There is no ID mark on the saucer as is common when the saucer is part of a set.
